$100 Laptop
Tech Buzz Part of the One Laptop Per Child initiative. It's the biggest giveaway ever! This $100 laptop looks like a baby alien, but it's supposed to help young kids in developing countries get caught up with technology. Are we naive to think that once every third world country gets ahold of instant messenger, the world's problems would be solved?

Endangered Wildlife Ringtones
I don't know about you, but I'm so sick of mp3 songs as ringtones. They may as well all be called "Traffic" because that's what they sound like on most cellphones.
